The earliest known records of the Beckerich name can be traced back to the 14th century in the regions of Rhineland and Westphalia, Germany. The name appears in various historical documents, including town registers and church records, with variations in spelling such as Beckerich, Beckrich, and Beckereich.

In the 16th century, the name Beckerich gained prominence when Hans Beckerich (1515-1572), a German painter and engraver, became known for his religious artworks and portraits. His works can still be found in several churches and museums in Germany.

During the 17th century, the Beckerich family had a strong presence in the Palatinate region of Germany. Notable members included Johann Beckerich (1630-1698), a prominent merchant and trader who established successful business ventures across Europe.

In the 18th century, the name Beckerich spread to other parts of Europe, including France and the Netherlands. One notable figure was Willem Beckerich (1720-1788), a Dutch merchant and philanthropist who funded the construction of several schools and hospitals in his hometown of Rotterdam.

As the Beckerich family continued to prosper, they established themselves in various professions and industries. In the 19th century, Karl Beckerich (1845-1912) was a respected German engineer who contributed significantly to the development of railroad infrastructure in his country.
